This will be an ongoing thread of my current project. The car is a 71 350/270 4spd car that I bought as a total loss. I have been gathering parts to begin the build for a couple of months now including a compleate vbp mono leaf front and rear suspension, a restored frame from a great CF member in PA. The build will be a slow process as i am currently in my senoir year of college and dont have the funds to finish it anytime soon. Planning on a big inch small block 400+ ci and the same 4 speed, the car will be used for cruising and some autocross and posibly some track days.
Not bad damage, it should buff out. Lol. If it's an LT-1 IT'S PROBABLY BETTER TO RESRORE IT. But good luck any way you choose. I'll be following
yes if I had the original motor I would consider going back original but it’s long gone, car was restored in the 80s or 90s, lost its leather interior and lt1 hood long before I got it. But still has the 6500 redline tach
The motor is a Charlie High racing engines fully forged 4bolt 355 that came out of a late model stock car with 700 laps on it. Internals, Solid cam roller rockers with stud girdles carillo pistons and rods
and all the good stuff making around 440 horse and 480ftlbs with a 7200rpm redline! Should be plenty
Transmission and clutch.
decided to go with a steel explosion proof Bell
housing just to be safe
clutch is a ram single disc diaphragm style clutch rated at 550 horse
flywheel is a neutral balance 153 tooth speedway motors
hydraulic throwout bearing is Howe racing made specifically for Muncie transmissions
shifter is a hurst comp plus that I bought used and completely rebuilt
that will be a lot more fun than the lt1 keep on with it
That steering wheel in the wreck was flattened by someones chest, ouch.
yea I think the 355 should be fun, if it would have had the original lt1 I would have restored it but it’s not worth hunting it down to me.
yea complete ruined the collumn and wheel, and his head got the windshield pretty good too!
